CHICKEN BHUNA

Steps:

• To make the onion purée, bring a small pan of water to the boil and add half the roughly chopped onion. Boil until soft (about 10 mins), drain and puree with a hand blender or mini food processor.
• Heat a large saucepan on a high heat. Once it's hot add the oil and finely chopped onions and reduce to a low heat. Cook the onions slowly and gently until golden brown in colour, and season.
• Add the ginger and garlic purée, curry powder, turmeric, chilli powder and a splash of water to the pan of onions and stir in well. Fry for a couple of mins. Add the diced chicken thighs and stir in well.
• Mix the yogurt, tomato purée and onion purée together in a jug with 300ml water. Pour into the saucepan and mix well. Turn up the heat until the sauce begins to boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Finally, sprinkle in the garam masala and stir in well for the final 2 mins before serving.

CHICKEN BHUNA MASALA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, toast the cumin, coriander, and cardamom over low heat until you smell the spices, about 1 minute. Grind the spices finely in a spice grinder. Add oil to the skillet, and heat over medium-high until the oil is very hot or smoking. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Let the chicken brown before stirring; and brown evenly on each side. Add the curry powder, chili powder, cinnamon, tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, coconut milk, and white wine. Bring to a boil, and then simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the cilantro.
• Ladle the masala over a bed of basmati rice. Lightly spray the uncooked poppadum with vegetable spray on both sides and cook in the microwave on high until poppadum is puffed and crisp, about 45 seconds. Serve with mango chutney on the side.
